VIDEO: Cam Newton threatens to ‘slap the s--- out of’ heckler at Auburn-Alabama game

After taking down the Cowboys in Dallas on Thanksgiving, Cam Newton was back in Auburn Saturday to watch his Tigers take on Alabama in the Iron Bowl.

But while walking to Jordan-Hare Stadium, Newton - who quarterbacked Auburn to a national championship in 2010 - was the victim of some unexpected heckling.

A fan can be heard on video yelling "180K!" at Newton as he walks past, a reference to the signal-caller's reportedly shady recruiting process. Newton was not pleased, and replied with an expletive laced threat.

"I'll slap the sh-- out of you!" Newton says, turning and pointing at the fan.

While Newton was still in college, numerous outlets reported that his father, Cecil Newton Sr., had asked schools for large payouts in exchange for Cam's services. Former Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers even told ESPN radio in Dallas that he witnessed Cecil Newton informing Bulldogs coaches the program would need to pay between $100,000 and $180,000 for Cam to commit there.

The scandal quieted down once Newton declared for draft and started tearing up defenses in the NFL. But if the video is any evidence, the accusations still hit a nerve with Newton, who is tied for second in the league with seven rushing touchdowns this season.
